Chris Rolland backs men's health with a classic Jaguar fundraiser for Movember

A 1967 Jaguar E-Type is at the heart of a men's health fundraiser launched by Chris Rolland, CEO of AllClear and InsureandGo, in support of Movember.

Rolland registered for the Guildford and Surrey Hills edition of the Distinguished Gentleman's Drive, scheduled for Sunday 27 September. The worldwide classic car event brings enthusiasts together to raise funds for prostate cancer research and men's mental health programmes.

His public fundraising page lists the Jaguar and his chosen local drive, with supporters invited to donate to the cause. Ahead of the event, Rolland pledged to cover all his own costs so that donations would go towards Movember's work.

A personal reason to get involved

In comments supplied before the drive, Rolland explained that the cause connects with his day-to-day work in specialist travel insurance for people with medical conditions.

"As the leading specialist in travel insurance for people with medical conditions, we see every day how much a diagnosis can change someone's life, and how much difference getting checked early can make," he said.

"This cause matters to me personally, and I want to use my position to encourage every man reading this to act if something doesn't feel right. It's a small thing to ask and it can make all the difference. I'm just doing my bit to help a great charity."

His appeal brings a personal message to the fundraiser: pay attention to your health and support the work being done to help others.

Classic cars with a shared purpose

The Distinguished Gentleman's Drive was founded in 2021. It unites owners of cars built at least 40 years ago, with drivers and passengers encouraged to dress smartly to complement their vehicles.

Local drives are organised by volunteers, linking individual communities to a global fundraising effort. The event's charity partner is Movember, with funds supporting research and programmes focused on prostate cancer and men's mental health.

For Rolland, the E-Type offered a way to make his support visible and invite others to contribute. The fundraiser combines a passion for classic motoring with a cause that reaches far beyond the cars themselves.
